Windows key

For the Windows product key, see Microsoft Product Activation.

The Windows key (also known as the win, start, logo, flag or super key) is a computer keyboard key originally introduced on Microsoft's Natural Keyboard in 1994. On Windows 95, it was used to open the start menu, and subsequently became standard on PC keyboards. In Microsoft Windows, Ctrl+Esc performs the same function, for keyboards which lack the key.
